Background

Reference

The BARMM Grand Coalition (BGC) is a political alliance in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, formally launched on April 29, 2024 at Sarimanok Stadium in Marawi before a reported crowd of about 20,000. Built around traditional politicians and political families, it positions itself as an 'inclusive' alternative to the incumbent Moro Islamic Liberation Front-led regional government. Its member parties include the Bangsamoro People's Party of Basilan Representative Mujiv Hataman, Serbisyong Inklusibo–Alyansang Progresibo (SIAP) of Lanao del Sur Governor Mamintal 'Bombit' Adiong Jr., Al-Ittihad–UKB associated with Suharto 'Teng' Mangudadatu, and the Salaam party of Sulu Governor Sakur Tan, whom the coalition endorsed for Chief Minister. Accredited as a regional parliamentary political party, the BGC is contesting the Bangsamoro Parliament elections, which were postponed from 2025 to 2026.
